Monday night, January 14th brings you an exciting Big Ten NCAA basketball showdown as the Nebraska Cornhuskers travel to Bloomington to take on the Indiana Hoosiers live from the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Nebraska is coming off a big win against Penn State last Thursday by a score of 70-64, while the Hoosiers were losers last time out, as they fell to Maryland on the road 78-75. The Cornhuskers have won the past two meetings between these two schools, so we will see if they can keep their streak alive on Monday.

Nebraska Cornhuskers

Nebraska comes into this game winners of three out of their last five games, but only one of those wins was during the onset of Big Ten play, the above mentioned win against Penn State.

The Huskers are scoring the ball well this year, averaging 79.25 points per game, but they just have not been that affective on the road so far this season. With a 1-3 record in visiting gymnasiums, they had better hope to keep Indiana around their defensive season average of 61.44 points scored against if they stand a chance to win this game on the road.

In their last game against Penn State, Junior F Isaiah Roby led all scorers in the game with 22 points in 38 minutes. We will see if he can take over the game once again on Monday. Roby also pulled down 11 rebounds in the game. Nebraska will have to get more out of their bench in this game if they want to win it, they only got one points from their bench last game.

Indiana Hoosiers

The Hoosiers have dropped two of their first three Big Ten conference games to start league play, but they still own a 10-0 home record, so a third loss here isn’t a given against Nebraska.

Indiana comes into this game scoring an average of 77.31 points per game, which was good enough to get them into the Top 25, but if they let Nebraska score over their average defensive score of 65.56 points per game like Michigan and Maryland did, then they will be looking at their fist home loss of the season on Monday night.

Freshman G Romeo Langford led all scorers last time out with 28 points in 34 minutes. Senior F Juwan Morgan led the team with 8 rebounds in the loss to the Terrapins. Like Nebraska, the Hoosiers got nearly no output off of their bench in the game, only two points, this will have to change if they want to stop this losing streak dead in its tracks.

Injury Report: F Jake Forrester is listed as “questionable” for Monday, while G Rob Phinisee and Forwards Race Thompson and Jerome Hunter are all listed as “out” for the game.

Free Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Indiana Hoosiers NCAAB Prediction:

Recent play says to take the Huskers in this game, but I think the Hoosiers just have come up against some stiff competition to open Big Ten play this year.

They are still perfect at home, and Nebraska has really struggled on the road this season, so I’m going to think logically in this one and pick Indiana to win it.

Take the Hoosiers to win this game at home and keep their home winning streak alive. Take them to cover the spread as well, and take the OVER while you’re at it. I think we will see a better offensive output from Indiana in this one after back to back losses.
